Albert DiStefano, age 73, passed away peacefully at his home on February 5, 2025, with his devoted wife, Elizabeth, by his side. Born in Brooklyn, NY, Albert was the son of Mary and Albert DiStefano and brother of Gloria and Annette. He was a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, great grandfather and a man deeply rooted in his faith.


A skilled electrician by trade, Albert’s work touched many lives over the years, and his craftsmanship was always marked by integrity and dedication. But beyond his profession, he was a man of God, whose faith shaped every aspect of his life.

Albert’s greatest joy came from his family. He leaves behind his children, Paul, Lisa and Matthew. His daughter-in-law, Kim. Along with his cherished grandchildren, Renee, Aaron and Peyton and great grandchildren, Adelyn and John, to whom he adored with all his heart. His love for his grandkids was evident in everything he did, and he was always eager to share his time, wisdom, and warmth with them.


Those who knew Albert were touched by his kindness, generosity, and unconditional love. He never judged others, always showing his affection through thoughtful gestures, a listening ear, and, perhaps most famously, by feeding those around him. No one ever left his home hungry, and his table was a place where love and laughter were always abundant.


Albert’s legacy is one of unwavering faith, deep family devotion, and a commitment to showing love through actions. He will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.


In lieu of flowers, donations may be made  to Tunnel to Towers (www.t2t.org) and American Cancer Society (donate.cancer.org)


Rest in peace, Albert. You will always be remembered with love.
